Ticking bomb in the abdomen..story of diverticular disease .Ahmed Bahnassy
A 35-year-old patient presented with abdominal pain and fever. An MDCT scan showed thickening of the sigmoid colon wall, intense inflammatory changes, abscesses, and gas-filled outpouchings, consistent with diverticular disease. The top diagnoses considered were diverticular disease, Crohn's disease, perforated colon cancer, and ulcerative colitis. The final post-operative diagnosis was diverticular disease, which can lead to complications like diverticulitis (inflammation of diverticula) and fistula formation to adjacent organs in cases of abscess.
Bedside ultrasound can help in the diagnosis and management of dengue infection in several ways. It can detect signs of plasma leakage like ascites, pleural effusion, and gallbladder wall thickening. These findings are seen more commonly in severe dengue cases than non-severe cases. Ultrasound can also identify patients at risk of disease progression by detecting subclinical plasma leakage. While nonspecific, ultrasound findings may help diagnose dengue in unsuspected cases or where laboratory testing is limited. Serial ultrasounds can monitor for developing plasma leakage not seen on initial exams.

Golden rules for diagnosing intestinal malrotationAhmed Bahnassy
1) Malrotation of the bowel is a common cause of volvulus and obstruction in infants and children, making an accurate diagnosis vital to avoid catastrophic consequences.
2) The normal position of the duodenojejunal junction is to the left of the vertebral body at the level of the duodenal bulb on frontal views and posteriorly on lateral views.
3) A scoring system can help determine if imaging findings are consistent with normal variation, indeterminate for malrotation, or indicative of malrotation based on the number of positive findings present.
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a dilatation of the abdominal aorta that is 50% greater than the normal diameter or greater than 3 cm. They are usually asymptomatic but can cause pain or rupture. Ultrasound is used to monitor AAA size and growth rate, with more frequent scans needed as the aneurysm enlarges. For aneurysms between 5-5.5 cm in men or 5 cm in women, the risk of rupture increases and surgical repair is considered. The goal is to repair before the aneurysm reaches 6 cm in diameter to reduce the risk of fatal rupture.
Approach to right upper quadrant pain-lessons from a caseAhmed Bahnassy

Biological effects of ionizing radiations..what every physician must knowAhmed Bahnassy
1) Ionizing radiation interacts with water molecules in cells to produce free radicals that can damage DNA and chromosomes. This damage can lead to cell death, mutation, or transformation.
2) Actively dividing cells are generally more radiosensitive than mature cells due to being in a more vulnerable state during cell division. Cells with decreased differentiation are also more sensitive.
3) Low doses of radiation delivered over multiple fractions allow normal cells time to repair sublethal damage between fractions, making radiotherapy more effective at destroying tumor cells.
The document outlines safety guidelines for different zones within an MRI site. Zone I is outside and accessible to the public, Zone II is the interface between Zones I and the controlled Zones III and IV where patients are received, Zone III has a static magnetic field strength over 5G and access is restricted, and Zone IV is the scanner room which is hazardous. It provides guidance on screening individuals before they enter zones, precautions for patients with implants or foreign objects, monitoring patients during scans, and specific safety considerations for groups like pregnant women, prisoners, children, and firefighters.
